The Namesake Prophecy, Book One

For Maddie Cole it has been all bad days since becoming the newest fourth grader at Oakley Elementary. Targeted by the biggest, meanest fifth grader, Shelby Bell - along with her two toadies, Sierra Bell and Michaela Greevy - Maddie is abused, terrorized, and robbed of her lunch money every day. As the new kid, Maddie is everyone's punching bag. Everyone except for Emmy and Lizzie Bayless, fraternal twins who can't be convinced that they are not identical. Principal Bell, Shelby and Sierra's grandfather, refuses to stop the bullying, having gone so far as to fire any teacher daring to stand up to his monstrous granddaughters, leaving Maddie's parents with no choice but to call in outside help. The Fae. Unbeknownst to Maddie, her great-great grandfather performed a tremendous deed for the Fae over a century ago, a debt that can never be fully repaid. Sharing his name, the Fae believe that Maddie is the Namesake, a foretold hero of the Draar, werewolf allies of the Fae, and they know that they must do anything to help her. Unfortunately, the Fae are once again under threat of constant attack by the Moordenaari, a cabal of evil wizards, and Thralls, their possessed human servants. King Matthias can't afford to lose any of his best knights. He can only spare Brigglesby, a surly, lout of a Fae who absolutely doesn't want the job. Forced into an oath, Brigglesby returns to Oakley with Maddie, bound to help his new charge find the strength she needs to handle her bully problem. What Brigglesby discovers, however, is that Maddie's bullies aren't the worst thing going on in Oakley. Good and evil, men and monsters, are focused on the little town, and Maddie Cole is right in the center of it all.
